Dark orbits how to pump droids. Design in dark orbits. Using hotkeys in Dark Orbit

Dark orbit design is a rather laborious and costly process. This option can be purchased with play money, but will hover around the level of the complete LF3 Vengeance laser kit. There is a wide variety of designs. Let's consider each separately.

Goliath includes designs that add 5-10% to honor, experience, damage, shields. The other 5 types of design open up access to valuable abilities. The Saturn Dark Orbit design appears to be an exclusive design for the ship, the bonus value is equal to 20% to the durability of the ship Goliath.

Solace is responsible for instant rehabilitation of half strength, adding 10% to the shield. Diminisher quickly removes the shield half of the enemy, adds 5% to the damage. Spectrum for half a minute increases damage protection to 80%, gives 10% to the shield. At the same time, its own damage is reduced. Sentinel provides 30% damage protection for 2 minutes, adds 10% to the shield. Venom every second increases damage to the enemy by 1,000, gives 5% to damage.

In dark orbits, ship designs are the most preferred ones that guarantee a bonus to experience, valuable up to earning lvl 17. Then access to all locations opens, the level loses its significance. Improved designs are more difficult to choose from. It is preferable to first stop at Venom, later it will be easier to make money on the rest. It is possible to buy the design you like.

Solace, Spectrum are not suitable for single combat. In group raids, Solace provides durability to nearby ships. Recent developments have led to the creation of the repair vessel Aegis. The ship is superior in value to the designs.


Spectrum is useless without the support of a repair boat or Solace. Absolute invulnerability is used exclusively when escaping from the enemy. For single reconnaissance in enemy locations, the Diminisher is the best option. On this ship, the destruction of the enemy occurs as quickly as possible. The ability to reduce the enemy's shield by 2 times destroys his strategy, excludes the enemy's attempt to escape, deprives him of protection.

Venom is considered the best ship for the accumulation of Uridium, loans. The vessel is capable of destroying Uber Crystallon on its own. For this, invisibility is acquired, under this protection, "Paralysis" is thrown at Uber. After a thirty-second interval, green cartridges are shot at Kristallon, 50 thousand damage each.

In dark orbits, droid designs involve equipping small ships with defense generators, modules, and lasers. There are 3 types of droids: Flax, Iris, Apis & Zeus. The first type is bought for credits, equipped with 1 compartment, the second with 2 compartments - for Uridium, the third - for real money.

There is only one decent design for Vengeance. Without enough credit, the Uridium, a powerful ship, a Gala-style design is available to enhance the experience. After purchasing the optimal weapon upgrade, set the design to passive damage for instant destruction of mobs, accumulation of wealth. Buying a dozen shields results in a passive defense design. After the hangar is fully equipped with shields for the broom, a design for the Lighting damage is obtained.

It's interesting to play if you have any of the above ship designs. How better design, the less vulnerable the user is to opponents. Protected ships become inaccessible to the enemy.

It is growing every day, so more and more players are interested in how to correctly build development tactics in order to "pump" their character and buy a powerful spaceship as soon as possible!

The correct development tactics begins with the registration in the game. If you have not yet registered your account with Dark Orbit, then do so to get additional bonuses that will undoubtedly be useful to you in the future. Go to Bigpoint's official website and register a general account, then go to the Dark Orbit game. The registration process is simplified to a minimum. Thanks to this procedure, you will receive additional free currency (uridium), which will be necessary for pumping your character and ships in the future.

The choice of faction has no difference in terms of "special features" and advantages. They differ from each other only in their history and appearance, so you can safely choose any of them.

The first piggy bank for the pilot ...

Once you get uridium, don't waste it. It is the most valuable currency in the game and is difficult to mine. You can get it quickly only with the help of the donation system. Your first ship will be Phoenix, which, unfortunately, cannot boast of high parameters and characteristics. After just 10 minutes of the game, you can earn experience and credits for another, more powerful and faster ship. To do this, you just need to move to the Nyx station, and complete a few small quests.

Completed missions? Change the ship and go again! Yours will start to open additional missions and quests. We strongly recommend that you start only those where you will need to kill enemy ships and monsters. You will receive double experience: for completing missions, as well as getting additional "buns" and bonuses. For each unit you are charged a certain amount of currency, respectively, the more frags you kill, the more profit you get.

Don't take on PVP quests. As a rule, the main mistake of beginner players is that they climb into these quests! You will waste a lot of time and will not be able to pump the level of the ship and crew as quickly as possible. After 3 weeks, you can safely proceed to completing these quests, when you already have a pumped ship and combat skills, installed elements of protection.

Choosing the right balance of combat and defense tactics

Pay close attention to pumping the ship right away. The ratio of defense and attack tactics should be about 50 to 50. If you, for example, improve only lasers, maximize their number, you will not be able to fight back while they are recharging.

If you still have a weak ship that cannot quickly develop speed, stay near the teleporter. Have you been killed? No problem! Take a new ship or change to a free one again. It is generally best to use multiple ship configurations at once. For example, if your defense was knocked down, you can switch the configuration and restore other full shields, thereby extending the life of the ship and getting to the teleport.

Keep an eye on the map on your monitor screen. Enemy ships near you are displayed on the map with a red marker. It also contains a large number of places that are considered safe zones. Not only players can attack, but also aliens. Always upgrade your equipment first, and only then buy a ship for it. Even if your ship is destroyed, all weapons, along with the upgrade, are preserved, and it can be easily transferred to another ship, for example, more powerful.

Using hotkeys in Dark Orbit

To become an agile and nimble pilot, we advise you to use hotkeys from the very beginning of the game. For example, to teleport, just press the J key, and in an instant you will leave all the enemies behind, even with the ship smashed into the trash. It is also convenient to use hot keys to switch lasers, missiles, mines, change configurations, which we mentioned at the beginning of the article. Full list see hotkeys in your profile settings.

How to choose the right ship for a beginner

Initially, you will only be able to purchase a few ships: BigBoy and Piranha. Even here, you need to carefully choose a ship in order to quickly develop in the game. Although Piranha is fast, its defense is lame. Be prepared for the fact that about 50% of the battles will be lost due to weak defense. The BigBoy, on the other hand, is a great place to start. His armor is several times better, and the number of laser cannons is somewhat higher.

The ship was chosen. What's next? You also continue to complete quests, kill mobs, and as soon as a sufficient amount for pumping modules is accumulated, download them to the maximum. Increase power, speed, protection spaceship... Then you can easily "take out" the mobs entry levels and most of the players who have recently played Dark Orbit.

Generally, the next ship is the Vengeance. This unit has high durability, excellent speed and is equipped with a large number of powerful guns.

You can buy droids for the ship. These are small satellites that will accompany your ship everywhere, helping in attack and defense. They can carry additional shields and weapons, separate modules. Droids are pumped along with the ship, therefore, we advise you to purchase them as quickly as possible. Keep in mind that each droid increases in price after purchasing the previous one.

Newbie, don't forget about the auction!

In the browser game Dark Orbit, you can get good modules and add-ons, ships, by purchasing them at the auction. The system is entirely based on the sale of goods between players, where each user can set his initial, final price. Analyze the market on a regular basis, ask your friends and clanmates what prices are best for purchasing this or that module.

Believe me, in a week or two you will already feel confident at the auction and know which lots to buy.

In general, we can say that Dark game Orbit assumes a large number of development strategies, where each player builds his own tactics. This guide describes only general rules on development for novice players, however, there are also separate instructions for pumping specific ships, earning uridium from contests, bonuses, and other events, training in combat tactics and many other important aspects of the game. Develop your own battle tactics, analyze the behavior of your enemies, select the optimal options for defense and attack configurations for the ship, and you will undoubtedly be the favorite in the game!

Laws of using the secrets of DarkOrbit

The DO game is conceived and implemented with the aim of making money. Those who like the game can put real money into their account. But you can play for free. You can even join a clan and win the Euro Jackpot. So, for example, in March 2009 our Russian clan won the Jackpot.

We will share the main secrets of DarkOrbit

DarkOrbit has rules, its own laws and foundations. There are also secrets. Let's face it, there are many secrets and secrets in DarkOrbit. And you have to unravel the main secret. And we will only share secrets

    Do not rush to pay for the game, regardless of whether you have the opportunity to do it or not. The first quests and tasks can be completed without any premium and heaps of uridium. Yes, and gain experience will not hurt. What's the use of having a fancy cruiser if you don't know how to fly a small one-seat fighter.

    On a small boat, it is easier and faster to pump droids. Droids can significantly increase the ship's combat capability. They can be bought at first small, for the credits earned and the credits collected from the bonus boxes. You can fill uridium with stubborn and painstaking extermination of alien ships, or get uridium by replenishing your game account and buy IRIS droids and promote them immediately.

    Show the administration that you are a promising player and deposit the minimum amount on your gaming account. After all, the game is conceived with the aim of making a profit, and 100-200 rubles is not money for a good and interesting game.. This will give you the opportunity to get further free uridium, premium and game credits.

    If you think that you have gained enough experience and are able to spend real money on the game, then you should not buy everything indiscriminately. The main part of what the server administration offers you to buy is completely useless. It makes sense to buy Uridium and the Loyalty bonus package.

    Among the quests, there are often very difficult and stupid ones that are more expensive to complete. Read carefully and choose tasks according to strength, commensurate with the capabilities of your ship and its weapons.

    Team up with other players. You can join a clan or organize a clan yourself.

The dark side of the orbit is not predictable. There the enemy can be a friend, and a friend can become an enemy. It's best to fly to the dark side alone. And you shouldn't fly there without Premium.

X-Files, how to get free Premium, Uridium and Credits, see the relevant sections.

A drone or droid carries dopa and protection, strengthens the ship

The droid is your faithful and indissoluble companion to your starship. There are two types of drones in the game.

    Flax - sold for credits. Has one seat for placing a protective field generator or weapons. It is recommended to purchase them for those who play for free.

Despite the growth in the price of each next drone exponentially, in a few weeks, you can acquire a full fleet of droids and pump them to the maximum level.
The rocked droid will add strength to your ship, increasing its defense if the drones carry field generators or firepower if they carry laser installations. Also, additional equipment can be built into the droid, for example, a Repair Bot or some kind of processor.

    Iris - Sold for Uridium and Imett 2 Gateways. Iris has the same functionality as Flux, but its resource is 2 times higher.

The price of Toffee also grows exponentially, but since it is sold for uridium, only an advanced player can afford to buy it. At the initial stage, only a paid player can afford such a toy.

Droid pumping to the maximum or upgrade

The best way to level up your droids is on the Yamato ship. To pump the drones on it to the maximum, it is enough to shred the Stroiners and Lordici. It is the easiest prey and flies close by. For example, it is enough to fill 534 Strömner or 320 Lordakia, and the trick is in the bag. Only after swinging the droids to the limit, it is worth transferring to a serious ship.

Droids don't like being killed

From this they deteriorate. Every time you are killed, the droids lose their resource. Droids can be repaired, but repairing droids understates the power of the droids, and they have to be pumped up again with the corpses of alien ships.
